For Vladimir Lenin's glorious birthday,
for "Ira Einhorn murdered his ex-gf and composted her in a closet" day,
For all of The Holy Church of Gore faithful....


Enjoy, or not.


Brother Al's Traveling Ecopalypse Show

Establishment Clause?... Anyone?... Anyone?...

Once upon a long, long time,
before the age of Man,
The Earth was green
and quite pristine,
an Eden wonderland.

Far wiser creatures roamed The Earth
pre-Man's ascendancy.
Tooth, and claw,
and tarpits all
just lived in harmony.

Fireball, and earthquake,
glacier ice, volcano flame
would rip and tear
The Ecosphere,
yet Eden stayed the same.

Then Man, the evil wretch, appeared
with greed, and carbon sin,
arrogant stride,
and market pride;
Man did poor Eden in.

But from patrician pampered privilege
a Prophet answered the plea
a Promised One,
Senator's son,
(failed doc divinity).

He collated contextless graphs
and false cause photo clips
and made a go
of a roadshow
preaching Apocalypse.

He soon was Senator, like Dad,
and even became Veep.
2000 went,
lost President,
and went off the end deep.

Then took the roadshow to the screen
to mass evangelize,
and pushed the vid
upon the kids
and won The Nobel Prize.

Though infidels and heretics
denied The Truth they heard
and dared profess
no consensus,
The Prophet preached The Word.

'Til in the halls of Congress,
His Gospel at last obeyed,
by their will
came Holy Bill
for Carbon Cap and Trade.

So rejoice, all ye brethren,
for His Glory is at hand,
His Sacraments
for low footprints
will justly rule the land:

light bulbs, trees, toilet paper,
hybrid cars, and compost piles,
windmill spins,
recycle bins,
and eco-Marxist smiles.

Soy milk, organic honey,
Green Delights now all in store;
Liberty stilled,
with no Free Will,
The Holy *Church* of Gore.

    The Possum's here,
    Not Pogo, dear,
    But a teller of the truth,
    Without being so uncouth,
    He speaks without fear.
    Though he talks in rhyme,
    His thoughts are sublime,
    As he shows eco-freaks the door;
    And then, forevermore,
    The foibles of Algore.

      Thank you, John.

      Did your friend laugh or blow a gasket?

      If you follow the link at the end of the main post, you will go to my blog page for this piece.
      On the page is a soundcloud feed of me reciting the piece, in case you both want to hear someone else read it.

      Thanks for sharing it.

        Euda, er, Rick ... and he thought that I had blown
        a gasket. -- j

          Just to clarify, Papa Possum is the name of an Everyman character which I created.

          I look at it in the same way as Charles Schulz creating Charlie Brown in "Peanuts".
          Does Charlie speak for Charles?
          Yes.
          Is Charlie Charles?
          Probably not.

          I still do have people though who insist on calling me Papa.
          What can you do?

    Fantastic! You got it all. Never let people forget that the biggest hoax conveniently falls on Lenin's birthday. The ultimate commie "got ua"!

      It is undoubtedly one of the greatest, if not the greatest scientific hoaxes of all time.
      The only possible exception being Soviet Lysenkoism.

      Thanks for reading, Stormi.

        Sadly, they have used our children and grand children, brainwashing them via public education, to believe without question their garbage. They plan to make cars impossible to own or park, and food so expensive we will starve as well. We get the genetically altered foods with seeds which will not grow, while the government safely keeps a supply of the real seeds for the rulers.

      All those years in Bill's shadow must have left him feeling inferior...

      Thanks for reading, Kevin.

        not long after the 2000 election, it was sort of a weird thing that I spent the night in a Denver hotel, but we did, and in the morning as I was swimming laps, my friend was lifting weights in the adjoining room and there was Gore with a few security. My friend did not acknowledge this, but his impression of Gore was that he was extremely sad looking. This must have been before someone put him up to the carbon credit ponzi scheme and he was worth 1 billion. How quickly that happened!

    You certainly have a knack for clever rhyme. Excellent! And while Igore, oh, I mean AlGore was spreading his spiel the polar ice caps on Mars and some other orbs were receding year after year. Perhaps we should make a trip to Mars and confiscate some ETUV's to lower the carbon ppm.
